DDI Health Virtualises with DataCore

By Greg McNevin

April 16, 2008: Diagnostic health firm DDI Health has picked DataCore to handle its storage virtualisation, claiming the firm’s technology is the right tincture for its data storage and VMware ills.

After grappling with wasted disk space, frequent capacity warnings and constant disk provisioning issues, DDI Health deployed DataCore’s SANmelody virtual SAN software to manage its storage and support its software development servers and VMware systems.

SANmelody automatically allocates disk space to physical and virtual servers as well as workstations, saving administrators from doing frequent, time-consuming provisioning and leaving very little disk space wasted.

“DataCore has removed a great deal of the complexity and management burden from our IT systems staff by automating tedious tasks that were error prone, disruptive and time consuming,” said Paul Graham, head of software development, DDI Health.

“Our overall productivity and the high levels of system uptime being achieved are greatly improved since we deployed SANmelody.”
